CBD Merchants Love Our Unbreakable Payments
OpenPath is the unbreakable payments system that keeps you in business and reduces merchant holds
CBD is Special
Selling CBD products online comes with its own unique challenges, especially in the area of credit card payments.
Rates can be high
Processors can view CBD as a high risk product and apply higher rates, and increase holdbacks. Not only on your CBD products, but anything else on your site too.
Processors are not stable
Banks and processors have been known to change rates and rules at a moments notice. And some have dropped support for CBD completely, leaving merchants stranded.
Different states have different rules
Sales of CBD products is limited or forbidden in certain states. Managing which customers should be accepted and staying compliant is essential.
What OpenPath Merchants are Saying
" The level of support I receive with OpenPath is beyond comparison ... the software your team created is highly customizable and has proven to be a important component of our e-commerce sales and growth. Bravo! "

" OpenPath gives us control over something we typically don't have control over with the banks. We can control our protection level now. OpenPath gives us that insurance process. "
- Josh Delaney Fab CBD
"Since adding OpenPath our revenue per customer has increased by 135%. I was selling single items to my customers by default. But now with monthly subscription items, repeat business automatically occurs. Thank you to the OP team for making it so easy to set up, and understanding our business goals. "
- Cheryl Bright, Online Marketing
Daily Challenges
Merchants have to overcome the CBD industries evolving landscape. There are examples that occur consistently
Elavon shut off (T1 Payments followed)
Two of the largest suppliers of payments processing to the CBD industry both removed support for the product with no warning, putting many merchants out of business. Don't let just one processor own your business.
Targeted by fraudsters
CBD merchants are preferred targets for online attacks. Card testing in particular, with attacks rising 75% last year.
Shopify closing stores
Shopify Payments does not support CBD and will disconnect when a store is found to carry it. And stores with suitable processing have been closed for shipping to controlled states and countries.
